    Summary

    Darwin Telly Tellison, self-proclaimed conspiracy theorist, had always been fascinated by the interconnected world, theorizing fantastical ideas that were inevitably ignored.
    He had been trying for four years to get onto a radio show, to share his theories with the world. But although he knew he was right, he wasn't that great at reporting anomalies, given how they tended to run away.

    And he had almost given up hope.

    Until he heard local urban legend of one of the machines in the arcade being alive.

    ~

    [REDACTED] was a living arcade machine. That's all he knew.
    Well, he knew he was once human, but he only recalled his life being miserable.
    He was happier now as a game. He didn't need to know who he used to be.

    He was content just being what he believed to be loved.

    Until a determined conspiracy theorist walks in and starts demanding his entire life story.

    OR
    The touch tone telephone guy investigates the story of the cabinet man, and maybe they fall in love on the way ???

    Previously known as ‘THE ARCADE MACHINE IN THIS TOWN IS ALIVE AND KINDA CUTE?!’

    Summary

    Welcome to a story that doesn’t quite follow the rules because why would it? The Narrator is confused in more ways then one. You are here and he is a glorified office plant. Expect a healthy dose of plant based commentary, awkward assistance, and the occasional tendril trying to get you to eat veggies. Side effects may include: questioning reality, codependent emotional attachment, and spontaneous debates with sentient foliage.
